| - The Skinny: decent authentic Cantonese style restaurant (4) service: surprisingly excellent service for a Chinese restaurant FYI: no diaper changing station but the bathrooms are clean(4) value: reasonably priced dishes that are generally well executed (4 starred review)
Ever since HK Star became another restaurant (and the quality went way down), we were looking for a suitable replacement in town. SK seafood fits the bill as the go-to casual Chinese place.
This restaurant is more of a traditional Cantonese style joint albeit with cleaner environment and surprisingly excellent service. (By excellent, I mean like no hassle for getting ice water and on the ball with refills....unheard of in a Chinese restaurant!) The wait staff is amazingly good and happy to make recommendations if you are stuck.
For now, they will always give you soup to start...even during lunchtime. Dinner includes a dessert as well.
We've tried multiple things on the menu (which is large!) and there are a few standouts and a couple of misses.
Things that great: pork neck meat with stir-fried assorted mushrooms(a great dish...a must try!), stir-fried eggplant, stir-fried pea shoots leaves with garlic (seasonal item: only good during Spring usually), green onion pancake, salt and pepper fish fillet (on the lunch menu, it is a good deal), braised tofu, salt and pepper tofu and fried tofu. The wonton noodles are also very solid (My mom is very particular about this dish and it got her seal of approval).
Their stir-fried dishes are not overly coated with large amounts of goopy sauce. A major plus in my book.
The misses were the salt and pepper pork chops and the sweet and sour pork. The reason is the pork is a little too fatty for me rather than an issue with execution.
Overall prices are very reasonable and on par with other Chinese establishments in town. Serving sizes are generous.
With a large menu to explore, great service and good prices, this place will keep you coming back for more! 4 starred review.
